Chapter Forty-Six: Sweeping

There are 10,000 land field troops, all of whom are above 5 stars or may reach 5 stars, named the Navy Seal Corps, with Nie Jun, the commander of the corps, Sun Guang and Sun Jun, and the military division to be determined. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Although Nie Jun was transferred to a military general in the sailor battalion, he went to the army camp to learn land combat skills, art of war, and formation under Li Tang's arrangement.

And Nie Jun himself is also very hardworking. During his duty in Linhai Town, he often entered the land barracks to learn the art of war and formation. Nowadays, it is also a small success.

In fact, Li Tang's original intention was to build this SEAL Corps into a marine corps. After all, island warfare does not require a pure army, but soldiers who can fight on water and land. These soldiers will also be converted into vine armor soldiers, which will cost 100,000 gold coins and 50 days.

Today, Linhai Town has 10 transport ships of about 200 meters. The conditions are ripe for the establishment of transport caravans.

Moreover, a lot of shipbuilding personnel are now replenished. It is estimated that every 2 months, the dock will be able to build 1 transport ship of 200 meters.

The slipway is of a higher grade and is built quickly, and it can build 3 200-meter transport ships almost every month. And, as the proficiency of the workers increases, the construction speed will get faster and faster.

Li Tang sent Ye Hui, Sun Fu, Sun Liang and others to the land. Negotiated with Zhang Fu and cooperated in maritime commercial transportation. After all, in maritime commerce, with familiar merchants leading the way, your fleet will not be blind.

In the end, Linhai Town invested 6 million gold coins in capital and 10 200-meter transport ships as share capital. At the same time, Linhai Town sent 4 junior generals, 14,000 4-star sailors, 20,000 4-star soldiers turned sailors, and 20 100-ship warships to protect the safety of the route.

The flotilla, together with the sailors, and the escort fleet, accounted for a total of 40% of the share.

And Zhang Fufang invested 1.5 million gold coins, plus 6.5 million from other investors, 40 200-meter transport ships. At the same time, it is responsible for the supply of land goods on both sides, the sale of goods, the transportation of land goods, ensuring the safety of land goods, and all shore-based personnel. A total of 60% of the share.

At the same time, it is agreed that both parties can increase the share capital at any time, and then agree on the shares.

In fact, maritime trade is actually very profitable. A round trip, the profit margin can reach 4-5%. Generally, the time for a round trip, plus the time for loading and unloading, the time for resting, the time for replenishing materials, and the time for ship repair, takes about half a year.

In one or two years, it will definitely be able to pay off.

Of course, there is a premise, that is, do not damage the goods, do not encounter pirates, sea monsters, storms, etc. Once the cargo is damaged by 2 percent, a trip will run in vain, and if there is still a loss of personnel, the loss will be even greater.

Therefore, it is very reasonable for Li Tang to ensure the safety of the shipping route and account for 4% of the share. At the same time, in the future, Li Tang will definitely increase the investment in the fleet, and the share of Linhai Town will also increase greatly.

Li Tang arranged this way, first, to make money, second, to train troops, third, to explore the route and create conditions for going it alone in the future, and fourth, to crack down on pirates.

Li Tang gave this freight caravan a mighty name: Kunpeng Legion, Legion Commander Ye Hui. At the moment, this corps is smaller. However, when Linhai Town built a large number of cargo ships and opened up its own independent trade routes. It is estimated that sooner or later this legion will become the largest legion, and it will also be the first to make contact with the mainland.

The soldiers who remained behind formed a garrison corps. The corps commander didn't have any suitable candidates, so he could only transfer out the good Tanggu Wulianghai, and there happened to be a vacancy for 1 middle-level general, and awarded the Tanggu Wulianghai infantry middle-level general.

In this way, the commander of the garrison corps is Tang Gu Wulianghai, and the deputy corps commander Ye Biao. There are also 10 land and water generals to help defend the village.

The soldiers left behind are mainly composed of 4-star soldiers, including 46,000 sailors, 10,000 infantry, plus 10,000 sailors, as well as 10 ships of 100 meters, 150 warships of about 40-60 meters, a large number of red horse boats to protect the village, and to protect a large number of large and small fishing boats.

In addition to sailors, there are a large number of sailors, sailors turned fishermen, pearl divers there are almost 30,000 people, more than 1,800 large and small fishing boats and small transport ships, these people's combat power is also not to be underestimated, they also have the strength to fight when they encounter pirates.

In addition, there are many other members who have almost 5,000 shipbuilding workers, more than 15,000 other personnel, and the rest are all stationed in the Qiankun Bracelet, almost 70,000 people.

Among the 20,000 industrial workers, government officials, and chengguan who stayed behind, many of them were transferred from soldiers, militiamen, and samurai, and basically all of them had received military training and could fight when they took up arms. So the entire Linhai Town is almost all soldiers.

And the generals, Li Tang is really a lot here. Because, there are many villages and towns in Li Tang, and there are places in them!

Speaking of this military general, it is a rare thing. Although, Li Tang has a lot here, it doesn't seem so important. However, it is a very scarce thing among other lord players!

And only with the identity of a military general can he lead the troops to fight. If you don't have the status of a general, you can only be a soldier. This is also the place in the game that makes many players vomit. Without the status of a military general, you can lead the troops, but when you command, you can't play the role of commander, so that the order can be passed on to every soldier.

Moreover, the status of a military general can learn the art of war, formations, and so on in the barracks. And ordinary soldiers can't learn. The number of generals, relying on the territory alone, is definitely more monks and less porridge, three or five places, so that most players cannot become generals.

Of course, there is another way to become a general, which is to buy tiger talismans and official seals to get the quota of generals. However, the purchase of tiger talismans and official seals requires merit and prestige. In the early days, it is easy to gain prestige points, but the merit is relatively rare.

At the beginning of the game, most of the groundbreaking events have reputation bonuses. And with prestige, players can redeem a large number of official seals.

And in the later stages of the game, especially during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, killing the Yellow Turban Army or killing officers and soldiers can gain a lot of merit. At this point, it becomes easy for players to redeem Tiger Talismans.

However, the imperial court at the time of the Yellow Turban Rebellion had already existed in name only. At this time, whether it is to exchange the tiger talisman or the official seal, the merits, prestige, and money required have greatly increased. In this way, it will increase the difficulty for the player to become a general.

By the time the heroes were divided, the luck of the Han Dynasty had been exhausted, and the jade seal of the country and the Chixiao Sword (also known as the Dragon Sword) were displaced, and the two artifacts could not be derived from the tiger talisman and the official seal. At this time, no matter how much merit and prestige the player has in his hands, he can't exchange the official seal and tiger talisman.

In other words, if you want to become a general, it is difficult in the early stage, easy in the middle stage, and difficult in the later stage.

At this time, Li Tang did not realize his huge advantage at all. He was also immersed in the joy of cleaning up the loot.

There are too many loot this time. The bits and pieces of garbage were thrown away to Ye Biao and the others to sort out slowly, only those silver-level and gold-level equipment, Li Tang specially rewarded the future equipment of the martial arts.

There is also some good equipment for the best soldiers and rattan armor soldiers. The rattan armor soldiers brought their own armor and helmets, but they did not have weapons, shoes, or other equipment. And there are still some excellent soldiers who have not had time to transfer to the vine armor soldiers, and they also need to be equipped with armor.

Some luxury goods such as jewelry are sold in the territory as much as possible. However, the consumption of these things in the territory is indeed limited, and can only be sold to the mainland along with other loot.

Li Tang didn't sell that large amount of grain. After all, in the Qiankun bracelet, there is no problem with how long the grain is stored.

What is the most valuable thing in troubled times? Antique? No! Gold? No! Grain! Food is the most valuable. Now that Li Tang is not short of money, he naturally will not sell the grain and do such a short-sighted thing.

What's more, there are already quite a few savvy players who have begun to stock up on grain and grass. Almost all players are familiar with history. They knew that the Yellow Turban Rebellion was coming, and that decades of warlord warfare would follow.

Therefore, hoarding food is definitely a profitable business!

However, the average player can't hoard much food at home. Only the player's territory can be hoarded. However, there is also a limit to the quantity.

Some players get the blueprints of the granary and build the granary. Granaries can be used to hoard large quantities of grain.

Li Tang is not a businessman, and his business vision only sees that the price of grain will rise, so he does not sell grain. Before he could take a long-term view, he began to mobilize funds and hoard food.

In fact, the far-sighted guilds on the mainland also oppose this kind of speculation and hoarding. Because, although this move weakens the aborigines, it strengthens the player.

However, buying all the grain will also cause the price of grain to be inflated, causing the Central Plains to starve and die, and countless more unjust souls. Although the starvation is all data, so as not to lose conscience, the large number of aborigines dying will inevitably affect the overall strength of the Chinese region.

In this way, once the national war begins, Greater China may fall into passivity.

Despite this, in the face of interests, even the appeal of the state cannot stop the pace of black businessmen making money. It's not that they're short-sighted, it's such a good thing, if you don't do it, someone else will do it, and the end is already doomed.

Unfortunately, those merchants did succeed in buying a large amount of grain, and they did store grain, and when the price of grain rose sharply, or even high, the price of grain rose by 3-4 times. However, almost no one made any money, but everyone lost a lot.

Because, at the beginning of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, many places began to burn and loot. Those villages with a large amount of grain, because they did not have the most sufficient troops to protect them, naturally became soft persimmons, and they were pinched very badly.

Those villages that had enough troops to protect them were even worse, losing not only food but also people, and soldiers were slaughtered.

In those areas far away from the Yellow Turban rebellion, the grain was forcibly expropriated by the officers and soldiers, leaving a white slip to repay the imperial court. It is conceivable that even in later generations, the white strip will not be able to be exchanged, not to mention that the court will exist in name only, so it is strange that it can be exchanged!

Li Tang also got some drawings of special buildings, such as high-grade brewing workshops, high-grade vinegar-making workshops, high-grade bean products workshops, papermaking workshops, intermediate tea gardens, printing and dyeing workshops, and so on. It's useless, it can enrich the products of the territory and improve the people's morale.

The drawings of some high-end weapon shops, intermediate ornament shops, high-end libraries, ready-to-wear halls, musical instrument shops, high-end Fushou shops (coffin shops), high-end gambling shops, high-end tea houses, and intermediate theaters were placed in Linhai Town.

There is also a blueprint of the king-level land barracks, which Li Tang also built in the Qiankun bracelet, and moved the talisman of the rattan armor soldiers to this barracks to ensure that some soldiers can be transformed and trained.

Everything in the territory of Linhai Town seems to be thriving and vibrant, and it is conceivable that the future of Linhai Town is bright. Unfortunately, there is a big hidden danger, but it always exists, and it cannot be reconciled, that is, the problem of more men and fewer women.

Today, in Linhai Town, the ratio of men to women is more than 5:4. That is, for every 5 men of school age, one is a single. The ratio of men to women is about 1:1, which means that the gap between men and women among pirates is even greater. Moreover, among the pirates, there are many leaders, each of whom has several wives and occupies the share of the others.

Pirates-turned-citizens are always a source of instability. In particular, if they do not have a stable family, they will inevitably become a scourge in the territory.

In order to solve this problem, Li Tang sent many sailors and soldiers to escort ships outside to reduce the number of unmarried men in the territory, and this phenomenon was slightly alleviated. However, this method can only delay for a while. However, as long as this time is delayed, there will be a large number of men on the continent, who will die because of the war, leaving behind a large number of women. At this time, the introduction of women to Linhai Town can completely solve the problem.

In addition, Li Tang encouraged a large number of girls. Whoever gives birth to a girl, Li Tang will be rewarded with 2 gold coins, and a boy will be rewarded with 1 gold coin. At the same time, Li Tang is still buying and selling a large number of people, mainly women and children.

After all, it was legal to buy and sell women and children during the Han Dynasty. Many families, because of the famine, could not support their families, so they had to sell their daughters and wives, otherwise they would starve to death.

After Li Tang bought it back, it was actually a great merit to let them get out of slavery and turn into civilians! At the same time, it can also alleviate the embarrassing situation of more men and fewer women in the territory.
